To be honest, I'd recommend against using "More Sparse Index Integrations" as a project again - I was actually going to suggest "retiring" the project after this past GSoC term. The remaining commands are all fairly complex, to the point that they'd be challenging even for someone that's done a lot of sparse index work. All that said, if someone is *really* interested in this project, you might be able to get it to work. You'll probably want to limit the scope to one command and make sure there's a strong emphasis placed on testing. Sparse index integrations can introduce a lot of subtle bugs (e.g. the one Shuqi found in 'diff' [1]), and a buggy command is worse for users than lacking sparse index compatibility. I hope that helps! - Victoria [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230811142211.4547-3-cheskaqiqi@gmail.com/ > > Sorry for the late request, but please let me know soon about this. > > Thanks, > Christian.
